Iranian hackers targeted consumer-grade security cameras in the Middle East, aiming to monitor missile strikes and plan attacks, according to Check Point Research. The firm linked these efforts to Iranian intelligence, with attempts timed to recent U.S. and Israeli airstrikes. Hikvision and Dahua cameras, known for unpatched vulnerabilities, were the primary targets. Israeli and U.S. forces reportedly accessed Tehran’s traffic cameras to track Iranian security personnel, while Ukrainian officials warned Russia hacked cameras to plan strikes on Kyiv. The tactic, described as “cheap and accessible,” highlights a growing trend in modern warfare.
